My FAL had a 1-piece firing pin. I noticed a tendency for it to dimple primers when the bolt was released and a round chambered. I noticed this on rounds ejected but not fired. It is a noticable dimple. I replaced the firing pin spring a couple times, with no sucess. I then got a 2-piece firing pin from DSA and the problem went away.
I posted this on FNFAL.com, and a guy gave me a line about this being normal for FALs and ARs. My AR doesn't dimple primers. My concern was that this might result in an ND. Is this guy right and I'm just paranoid? Consider this a solicitation of opinions.....
